			<description><![CDATA[<p>Looks like things are working with regards to the cables. You still need to &quot;pass through&quot; all the other MADI channels on each unit. So the patch points should be Input MADI 17 to Output MADI 17, Input MADI 25 to Output MADI 25 on the top unit, and the same passthru for MADI 1 and MADI 9 on the second unit.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>EDIT1: Both Pulse 16 MX are MADI devices, not a Pulse 16 missing the MADI license?</p><p>Simplify the setup as you did: UFX III and one Pulse 16 MX.<br />If this works, try the 2nd Pulse 16 MX using this and the other SFP (multimode transceiver).</p><p>Check both SC-LC cables by connecting at least one Pulse 16 MX successfully<br />and the LC-LC cables by plugging a loop from Pulse 16 MX OUT to IN.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello All.. </p><p>I am sure you have had this topic a million times, I have read what I have found in the forum to try and solve this issue.</p><br /><p>I’m trying to get my RME UFX III working with 1 x Ferrofish Pulse 16 with Ferrofish SFP Module Multimode, and 1 x Ferrofish Pulse 16 MX over optical MADI and I can’t get it to work.</p><p>I’m using SC-LC &amp; LC–LC OM4 duplex cables, so as far as I understand that part should be fine.</p><p>everything set to 64ch<br />same sample rate everywhere<br />RME as master, Ferrofish on MADI clock<br />using optical<br />checked I’m not mixing up IN/OUT</p><p>With just ONE Pulse connected directly to the RME, I don’t have any issus. But when I daisy chain the LC-LC connection from one pulse to the other and back to Rme UFX III LC-SC i dont get any connection.<br />I figured I should mention that both pulse´s are the same firmware.</p><p>I did the routing bit for both of them so they dont share same &quot;channels&quot;</p><p>At this point I just want to know if I’m doing something wrong</p><p><a href="https://kommodo.ai/i/M5H2FHIvCh8iUkyRzXUn">https://kommodo.ai/i/M5H2FHIvCh8iUkyRzXUn</a><br /><a href="https://kommodo.ai/i/ahQnjzohZE5TP1TTOK4C">https://kommodo.ai/i/ahQnjzohZE5TP1TTOK4C</a><br /><a href="https://kommodo.ai/i/3X7nxPaZi9JruD6AWLVQ">https://kommodo.ai/i/3X7nxPaZi9JruD6AWLVQ</a></p>]]></description>
